<h4>April 2021</h4>
<p>Lockdown has been good to troggle. During March and April Philip migrated troggle up to Django 2.2.19, excising the ancient and unused user registration system on the way. Django 2.2 LTS is a long-term stable relase which will be in-support by Django until April next year. Wookey discovered and ran the Django system testsuite on the Debian server thus enabling us to use a necessary (but obstensibly outdated) link between Django and the database MariaDB. As of April 9th troggle is now running on software which is actually 'in date'.</p>
<p>We plan to stick with this configuration for a year.</p>
<p>Next April (2022) we may upgrade to the forthcoming debian stable release 11 <var>bullseye</var>. At that point debian will have python 3.8 as standard. We also hope to migrate to django 3.2 LTS which will be a year old by then and which will be <a href="https://www.djangoproject.com/download/#supported-versions">supported until April 2025</a>.
<p>With any luck that will be the last of our involvement with django migrations as we may not move on from using django 3.2 until we stop using django altogether, see <a href="trogspeculate.html">troggle architecture speculations</a>.
<h4>March 2022</h4>
<p>The week beginning 7th March we plan to upgrade to the debian release 11 <var>bullseye</var>.
At this point 'debian stable' is bullseye and has python 3.9 as
standard. We will also migrate to Django 3.2 LTS which will be a year old by then and which will be <a
href="https://www.djangoproject.com/download/#supported-versions">supported until April 2024</a>.
<var>Bullseye</var> will be <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/LTS">in support until June 2026</a>.
<p>Django migrations are not nearly as painful as they used to be, and troggle is already compatible with Django 4.0.3 (though we won't use that).
So the presure to migrate from Django is now very greatly lessened. However, see <a href="trogspeculate.html">troggle architecture speculations</a>
and possible <a href="trog2030.html">migration from Django</a>.
<p>We should not need to anything until we move from django 3.2 LTS to 4.2 LTS before April 2024.
